> I do have mixed feelings about people doing NFTs and memecoins: 50% that they're idiots, 50% that they're not worth thinking about.
It's you that said that NFTs and memecoins are not worth thinking about. I was arguing that you should think about them. I wasn't pretending anything, just responding to something you said.
I also didn't get the UTXO set data from you, I got it from this report, which I included in the newsletter I put out earlier today: https://research.mempool.space/utxo-set-report/
We're in agreement that the UTXO set shouldn't be filled with unspendable outputs, though maybe there's something to be discussed with respect to what the tradeoff between UTXO set bloat vs prunable bloat is. If we get 100 bytes of prunable data instead of 1 33-byte ScriptPubKey UTXO, is that a good trade-off? How about 1000? or 1MB?
Because the Citrea people seem to be claiming that they only need 160 bytes and it should be very rare: https://x.com/robin_linus/status/1919091672941477965. Is 500 bytes a year in UTXO bloat worth 1 GB of prunable data bloat?
What is the correct tradeoff? Do you have a range you're comfortable with?
